Why is it that shaping familiar characters as Legos and putting them into a video game make them instantly more fun? Okay, so it’s probably because the folks behind Lego Star Wars actually made a really fun game. The novelty of the world in Lego certainly gives it an added appeal, but if the game weren’t fun it wouldn’t get played. Let’s hope the story stays true for Lego’s Batman game as well. And it looks likes they are moving in the right direction.

According to the latest news, Batman will not only give you the chance to fight crime in the dark streets of Gotham, it’ll also hook you up with the ability to perpetrate crime. No, you can’t turn the caped crusader to evil … but you can play as a villain and put the dark knight in his place. Of course, if the game were going for realism, you’d just lose to Batman most of the time.
